Today I'm going to talk about the man who discovered x-rays, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, born on March 27, 1845-Munich, was a German mechanical engineer and physicist, from the University of Würzburg, and On November 8, 1895,(He died on February 10, 1923) it produced electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths corresponding to currently called X-rays. Also in the following years, Röntgen published studies "on a new type of rays", which were translated into English, French, Italian, and Russian.

Something remarkable about his person is that he refused to register any patents related to his discovery for ethical reasons. He also did not want the rays to be named after him, although in German X-rays are still known as Röntgenstrahlen. I find that quite admirable in a scientist.

A curious fact about his discovery is about his wife, that about six weeks after his discovery, he took a picture (a radiograph) using X-rays of his wife Anna Bertha's hand. When she saw her skeleton she exclaimed "I have seen my death!".

The pharmacist is one of the most valuables members of society, who deals with the composition, properties, interactions, and proper use and distribution of medicines. Due to knowledge of the mechanism of drugs, the pharmacist understands how they should be used to achieve maximum benefit, minimal side effects, and avoid drug interactions. This is essential to guide other people to better well-being.

I don´t know exactly how I see myself in the future, but probably in the industrial area of pharmacy or investigating to discover new medicines that can be useful for the human race.

My major along with other careers in the health area can contribute to the development of a wide range of drugs and bio-drugs which may be able to improve people's lives and even eliminate some type of ailment in the patient's body.

Although today the training we receive in more chemistry than pharmaceutical, one should not forget his work with people, as a health employee.

When I was looking through my gallery I found quite a few photographs, so I decide to choose this one, related to the English language.

This is an interactive game ,(I don´t remember the exact title) that I called "kurro" because is the name of the red bird on the front of the disk , this game brings me back a lot of memories of my childhood , I remember playing this game when I was a kid , especially the levels of the city and the world.

I found really interesting the kind of game it was, it wasn´t boring. It had a lot of games as alphabet soup, memory, listening and a lot more. I never got the chance to play one of all the games that was the repeat game , in this game I had to repeat the sentence or the word that was said, and because I didn´t have a microphone I couldn´t complete the task (That didn´t stop me from talking to the screen, hahaha).

It isn´t much to talk about the photo, because I took it not long ago, but the memories are still there.
